Is it Possible to Prevent Jet Lag?

Now a days, travelling by air has nearly become a daily habit. With professionals travelling more and more, and further and further away with less and less time spent in each destination, jet lag has become a corporate issue. How? Because it decreases productivity, increases frustration and simple mistakes that could have been avoided. When a company sends a delegate to a certain country for negotiations, they want the person to be atop of everything to make sure to get the best deal possible, but how is that possible if the person is woozy and drowsy from the long-haul flight? Jet Lag Rooster, is a site that was created to calculate times you should try remaining awake and when you should sleep to be able to adapt rapidly upon arrival and avoid the drowsy state. I did the test, assuming I was flying from Paris to Bali, Indonesia. Here is the page where you fill in the form:

And the results the website gave me. You can select different options, like getting your body ready before the trip, during the trip, or upon arriving at the destination. In this case, I chose the option of during the trip.

Society for New Communications Research

For those interested, SNCR has launched a volunteer program to allow students, scholars, technologists, business leaders, professional communicators and members of the media from around the globe to be involved in research concerning the development of communications now-a-days. The SNCR is a non-profit global think tank and research "dedicated to the advanced study of the latest developments in new and emerging communications tools and technologies such as digital, social media, and mobile, and their effect on business, culture, and society" [quoted from socialmediatoday]

The program allows those interested in applying with hopes to win an entry to conduct research and learn more about these changing tools. Personally, I believe this can create a big opportunity for those in search of a job. Most business' now-a-days must rely heavily on the changing technologies and must adapt as fast as these new tools change. If a potential applicant has this knowledge and training, what more could be perfect for a company looking to be successful in modern days technology?
